Unsubscribe/Subscribe Sections for the Trust Center

Add an Unsubscribe / pause section and Subscribe section to Trust Center pages that contain Consent preferences sections to allow end users to easily disable or enable purposes and preferences.

Enhancements to Bulk Actions Import Template and Bulk Export APIs

Change a data subject's identifier type using the CHANGE_IDENTIFIER_TYPE action when using the Consent data subjects bulk actions import template. This enhancement allows you to specify a new identifier type for multiple data subjects at once.

Additionally, leverage the newIdentifierType parameter in the Create Bulk Export API when completing DATA_SUBJECTS_BULK_ACTION exports. This parameter allows you to specify the new identifier type to assign to data subjects and is required when the action type is set to CHANGE_IDENTIFIER_TYPE.
